No looting in my town. There is a large group of peaceful protesters holding signs. Not only black people are there. Our mayor is holding up a sign too. Dress shirt and tie, it’s 90 degrees out.
The looters don’t give a rip about Floyd at all, this is either paid antifa actions, or those who are using that as a excuse to steal. Not one of them are doing that out of outrage about what happened
I'm all for protests. I've been involved in a few.
But that ain't what this is.
But that cheesecake does look good!

It's organized crime antifa and Obama and his ilk. Paid protesters. And criminals jumping on the bandwagon. No one cares about Floyd. They want to steal. I hope they bring the National Guards out. We have them in DC and the local police got a tip that it was going to happen on I-66 near the boys' old school but I don't know whether it ever happened last night.
Came across that on Facebook, but it's been taken down I think.

It's people using this as an excuse to thieve. Happens every protest/riot.
I heard there were demonstrations downtown but no looting. Stealing cheesecake? I guess though if I were to loot I'd be stealing something boring like diapers and diaper wipes. I wouldn't even know what to go about stealing.

Now there’s word going around that there might be trouble at Walmart and our beautiful downtown area tonight. I’m really hoping it’s not true. Now it’s just organized crime.
Several of our friends over here have asked me - Why are they looting? I have no answer for that. Get something for nothing, maybe? Certainly not anything to do with the original incident.
Shoot 'em. OK, I will go along with that.
Saw on TV just now that President Trump has added ANTIFA to the terrorist list.

A bunch of thugs. And they are in my area. I see them stopping traffic on freeways. Beating the cars with clubs and crowbars. And cars just sit there. I don't know why they aren't taking off and running them down. I guess because they are good people who don't want to injure others, but instead become victims. If I were in a car that was being beaten that's assault and battery and I'm in fear of my life and I have every right to defend myself by flooring it. But I know the law and the car is an extension of myself and if they beat on my car they are beating me and I can defend myself.

Boston had violent protests last night with a ton of vandalism and looting. Most Walmart's in surrounding towns closed early in anticipation of rioting.

And of course they looted Newbury Street. For those who don't know all the most expensive stores are there. The Ugg store was cleaned out.
Ugh. They even started up at my old stomping ground Martinsburg, WV. Cops there don't mess around. Arrests were made and the place cleared out. They were out in full force. Local cops, state police, several counties all showed up last couple nights. No loser looter had a chance.

Paying people would be a little out of control I think. This is just ******* criminals,
My BFF contracts for the military and he has contacts all over. He got word yesterday that they are deploying the military, not the National Guard, out to some of the worse areas. With directions to shoot. They are not playing.

That is good to hear, NJN. My LEOs say they are told to stand down and let them "vent." So they get fireworks shot at them, their units ransacked and set on fire, AKs stolen. Sounds like they are done venting.

Do you think that that is a little weird? The armed forces being deployed on the request of the leader to control citizens? I feel like that echos....
The violent protesters that were bused to Boston on Sunday were driven to Trudy's city for last night. Her city had a peaceful protest that started in the afternoon with a two minute moment of silence to kick if off, lead by the Chief of police. They had a peaceful march. Then later the bused in people started their destruction.

The real message in all of this is this is part of the National Trump tantrum. Blue State Governors are ALLOWING their States to be demolished as part of the Trump Tantrum.

If you actually knew history, then you would know it is not weird. As for "controlling citizens", when those citizens are burning down, vandalizing and destroying the property of others and beating and killing people then yes they are in need of control.

The National Guard is available for the states but the blue state leaders are not using them, or if they are, they instruct the National Guard to just sit there and do nothing. To let the people "vent". The protesters do their bit, but then antifa shows up and starts destroying. And the NG can do nothing because they were told not to. So if they aren't going to, the military now will. Whether it's the NG or other branches. The NG is a component of both the U.S. Army and the U.S.A.F. They are military.

So what is the differentiation here
Trump threatened governors with military intervention if they do not take his "strongly recommended" advice to deploy National Guard troops to "dominate the streets."
If the governors won't use the NG to stop the violence and destruction, he will make the order as Commander in Chief. He's trying to let the governors do their job. Or actually, force them to do their jobs.
Yes, Military = National Guard = Military = National Guard.

I think I'm just confused about deploying the military (NG) if the NG isn't deployed. Must be something in the wording that isn't making sense. Is it like "If you don't deploy NG yourselves I will do it for you."?
